The Presidents Smoking Outfit.
Boston Traveller.
President Cleveland is almost as much of
a ''night-owl" as was the late President
Arthur. Mr.. Cleveland, however, is an
early riser. while Mr.. Arthur never had his
breakfast before II o'clock, and sometimes
it was long after noon before he was ready
for the transaction of public business. Mr..
Cleveland is fond of consulting with the
members of his cabinet and a few
personal friends until the early hours
of the morning. One of his friends
wished an audience the other dav,
and was somewhat astonshed to receive as
reply that 1.-THE president will receive him
any time after II p. m.," and this is by no
means an unfrequent occurrence at the
White house. During the day the presi-
dent always wears broadcloth Prince AL
bert coat. with dark trousers and vest
which shows very liberal display of shirt
front. His cravat is of black silk, about an
inch in width, and he ties it in an old fash
Toned bow-knot. 1t is during these evening
chats and conferences that the presi-
dent is seen at his ease. He is very fond of
an old suit which he calls his working
Clothes" And such an outfit! In the first
place comes an extremely short sack coat
that barely reaches to his hips. Then comes
the trousers. the bottoms of which look
lohgingly at his ankles. some distance
away; pair of shoes which must be an
heirloom in the Cleveland family. and a
smoking-cap with tassel completes the
description. 1t is just such a makeup as
one often sees on the comedian in some old
farce, but the president likes it and clings
to it like an old friend

Talk about your towns, l found little

surprised me very much. Its right hard
to find and you come upon it very uneX-

it is not an island exactly. it might as we'll
be, for it has no neighbors and is kind of
imDerium in imperio. Yazoo City is GER
talnly the most independent little city |
know of. They found enough dry land
over there to build a town on, and plenty
of high bluffs to retreat to in case of a gen

gracefully to these highlands. The bust
ness blocks are compact, and the stores are
all in good architectural taste and we'll

never get muddy. The churches are near
together, and the houses of the people look
attractive and Inviting. Come Income

The people all seem to be one family. and

Central railroad seems to be proud of the
town, and has built the finest freight and

Half dozen steamboats, ply the river regu-

bales OF cotton are marketed and compressed
here. The negroes largely outnumber the
whites in this region, but perfect harmony
prevails between the races. These negroes
are out of politics, and are content to be
out. Woe unto the white man who should
tamper with them, for the "Yazoo plan" is
as fixed policy with these people as the
laws of the Modes and Persans The
negroes have the finest church edlfice in the
city, and they have more schools than the
whites. and receive the larger share of the
school fund. These people look upon the
negroes as their wards and the man who

For black and yaller and tan.

ut its height, the guests were solemnly
summoned to large chamber that had been
cleared for the purpose. In the middle of
the floor was tripod OIL which was small

A FANTASTIC IMAGE.
When the guests had all assembled and
surrounded the tripod the hostess stepped
forward and made little address, all in
the most sepulchral way, and announced
the death of Folly. She pointed to the
image on the tripod as the corpse of the de-

come to say last farewell to Folly until
such as he should revive or send success

last rites should be appropriate to the char
acter of the deceased, and so forth. The
event was that all in the company joined
hands and danced solemnly about The tri-
pod, while the Mrs. Dare lit the combust-
lbles. AS the flames enveloped the image
OF Folly the dance became hilarious and
wild. The corpse burned right merrily,
and when midnight sounded it was all but
entirely consumed. At the first stroke of
the bell the lights were suddenly extin-
gulshed, the dancing ceased and the guests

ADMISSION AS A WHOLE.

The ADVERTISER heartily endorses the
following sensible editorial on the adj
mission question, which clearly defines
the course now being taken by inAuen-
tial citizens who until recently favored
division. Their present movement dis
plays wisdom and excellent judgement,
for in uniting the forces, the strength OF
the people is more than doubled, and in
this way the demand for the admission
Of Dakota as whole will receive just
recognition by congress. The Journal
says:
1t is fact worthy of more than pass
ing notice that the call for convention
in Deadwood to select delegates to the
Aberdeen gathering is signed by
prominent men OF both parties-indi
eating that the democrats of the Black
Hills are by no means alone in their de-
sire for the admission of Dakota to the
Onion undivided. When the names of
such stalwart republicans as A. r.. q.
Dawson, Granville G. Bennett, Porter
Warner and William E. Church are
found appended to the call it may be
taken for granted that the movement, SO
far as the people of the Hills is con-
cerned, is not merely a democratic one
The gentlemen named have been promi-
nent in the councils of the republican
party. They are representative men,
and in thus expressing their sentiments
they join with the representative demo-
Gratis of their community in expressing
the sentiment OF majority of the
people Of the Black Hills. While they
have in times past favored the division
idea, they are free to acknowledge in the
result of the late election the practical
defeat of division. and, considering state
hood for Dakota highly desirable, to
join IN the only movement now Offering
promise of attainment Of that end.
With them, as with many intelligent
gentlemen throughout the territory, who
have been known as advocates of divi-
sion, that question has been thrust aside
for the present. They realize that if
Dakota shall ever be divided it will be
after admission has been secured. They
are not of the class of fanatics now
declaring in Southeastern Dakota that
they prefer that Dakota should forever
remain a territory than enter the Union
as one state. They are men who are
not inclined to waste time in mourning
over defeat when there is chance OF
working for material benefit to the terri
tory. They do not consider that when
division is lost all is lost, but they Go
tacitly acknowledge that for division at
the present time there is no hope, and
declare their willingness to aid in push
ing Dakota into statehood-if not ac-
cording TO the plan they originally IA
vored, then according to the plan giving
greatest promise of success.

with an article that has heretofore been
imported We quote:
From time when the memory Of man
goes not back to the contrary, America
has been importing all the tin she used.
Though making use Of that metal TO d
greater extent than any other country,
she has yet been obliged to pay tribute
to foreign lands chiefly England for
all Of her raw material. She hasn't
liked II, but she couldn't help herself
She did this, too, notwithstanding the
fact that immense deposits OF ore con-
tanning the convicted tin were known to
exist in this country, notably in the
Black Hills region Of Dakota. But the
ore was Of refractory nature, and
could only be concentrated at such
great expense as to render competition
with the imported article impossible.
But change is coming. A method is
said to have been discovered by which
tho Dakota tin can be readily smelted.
Works are now being constructed at
Deadwood, and it is said that early in
the new year the tin viii be put upon
the market This is good news for the
American manufacturers, who have
been obliged to purchase their tin
abroad. And il is good news for Dako-
ia, too, since the development OF any
portion of her material wealth must be
the cause Of rejoicing; but it is better
news than all for the lucky discoverer
Of the new method and owner of the tin
mines, who, in putting cheap tin in vast
quantities on the market, will stimuli
taneously- to use slang phrase put a
good deal of "tin" in his own pockets,
all of which he will have Justly earned.

WHOLE DAKOTA.

A circular containing the call for the
territorial convention to be held at Aber-
deem on the 18th inst. is at hand. 1t is
signed by leading citizens of all parties,
which is conclusive evidence that the
movement is popular and most likely to
meet with success. The circular is as
follows:
A convention OF the people of Dakota,
entirely non partisan, is hereby called to
meet at the city of Aberdeen, on Thnrs-
day, the 18th day Of December, 1887, at
twelve o'clock noon, Of that day, for the
purpose of preparing a memorial to con-
gress, praying for the passage OF an en-
aiding act authorizing the holding OF a
constitutional convention, and the sub
mission OF that constitution to vote Of
the people Of Dakota for its acceptance
or rejection, preparatory to the admis-
sion of Dakota into the Federal Union,
and to take such action as may be
deemed wise, and for the best interests
of the people of Dakota for the present
alton Of such memorial to congress, and
to transact such other business as may
probably come before the convention.
In counties where conventions have not
already been called for the purpose of
selecting delegates to this convention, it
is recommended that the people as
semble in mass convention at the county
seat of their respective counties on Sat
urday, the 10th day of December, 1887,
for such purpose.
The appointment gives Black Hills
counties; Butte, A; Custer 4; Fall
River, 3; Lawrence, 81; Pennington,
2. The primary to be held at Deadwood
Saturday to elect delegates to send to
Aberdeen viii no doubt be well attended,
as the Hills people are in sympathy
with this method of acquiring state
hood.
